**A. At Full Retirement Age**

At Full Retirement Age, your entitlement to a disability annuity ends, and your entitlement to an age-and-service annuity begins. This means that your entitlement to annuity payments is no longer affected by the restrictions that apply to disability annuitants as discussed in this booklet. However, your annuity is still subject to the restrictions discussed in booklet RB-1, Employee Annuity, for age-and-service annuitants. If you do not have a copy of this booklet, you should request one.

**B. Before Full Retirement Age**

Entitlement to disability annuity payments ends effective with the earliest of:
                        - the last day of the month before the month in which your death occurs, or
                        - the last day of the 2nd month after the month in which disability ends.

Disability ends if:
                        - you  "medically recover"  so that you are able to work, or
                        - you return to work and hold a job whether or not there has been any substantial improvement in your condition (see   Trial Work Period ).
